"We had an amazing experience here. The service was welcoming, and we didn't have to wait long to get to our table. The food was good. I wish they had fresh strawberries for the pancake, as most pancake places do. The coffees were great, especially the latte. We would highly recommend this spot, but be prepared to wait for a table, especially on weekends."

"We were looking for a nice breakfast spot in downtown and settled on this place. The location is very centralized and we didn't have any wait at 8:30am on a Saturday morning, though the place was filling up pretty quickly. The menu is a nice mix of standard breakfast items as well as some unique choices. I tried the breakfast burrito which was pretty good, but I thought the portion size was much too small considering the price. At the very least they could include a side of potatoes to make the meal more substantial. They do have a small kids menu that includes pancakes and a few other staples. Service was just alright and was a bit slow during our visit."

"What a difference a few years will make. I felt like a just ate an overpriced Denny’s instead of the Sleepy Bee I know and love in Oakley. The bacon was overcooked and hard to eat, the “seasoned”potatoes were bland and had no sauce, the eggs were undercooked, and the bee cakes were lacking something I can’t describe. Although we arrived an hour before closing, the staff seemed done with serving and our waiter disappeared for the latter half of our meal. The other servers who took over didn’t bring syrup for the pancake or anything for the toast, and it was just a disorganized mess. At least the atmosphere was about the same, which fits the downtown deadness."

"Service was friendly but the food was not too remarkable - things tasted relatively good but not really anything special. The portions were average or below for the price points. You couldn’t even see the avocado on the avocado toast with how little avocado there was and how easily it was covered with a fried egg. The servers are friendly which did help with the experience."

"Amazing place! We walked into the Sleepy Bee in downtown Cincinnati and, after a short 15-minute wait, got our table. Atmosphere was busy and vibrant, with perfect lighting, cozy, modern, and full of energy. It’s truly the perfect spot for a Saturday late brunch. Our server, Sophia, was wonderful, kind, informative, and full of joy. The food was absolutely delicious, and I was thrilled to see so many gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options on the menu. Honestly, it’s a 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be coming back probably a hundred times! Don’t miss this gem!"
